I don't give a damn about what others might think. I was for a Mahrez benching, but boy we look dreadful without him. Not Gray's fault, he did well given the little opportunities he had, but that's prehistoric football we're playing. There is no way in hell any technically gifted player is going to thrive in this system. I've never ever saw Mahrez that pissed off. Same goes for Vardy who was surely feeling like Tom Hanks in "Cast Away". Shakey is a dead man walking. If we start as negatively against WBA as we did todsy and against Huddersfield then I think the fanbase will turn. If you can't be brave v West Brom at home then when can you, Craig? The team that do finished the game today should start against West Brom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't like the team.plays well with Mahrez in, and when we do, it is despite him, not due to his play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeGuy Posted 30 September 2017 Share Posted 30 September 2017 Not only the fan base. Did you ever get the feeling whilst you're on the pitch that you're not going to win the game no matter what you do? You still play and try to give your best but deep inside you have the feeling that something is off? The players strike me as insecure and unconvinced. Ndidi, Vardy, Albrighton looked defiant and dejected all along the game. There were 11 players in blue on the pitch, but not a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And offensively his definition of creativity is hoof it down the channels for Vardy to chase. Mahrez and Gray not tracking back is a myth. They do. Albrighton has been turd since Arsenal but yet gets picked every week. Eh, Mahrez a bit less than Gray I think. Certainly today I was impressed with Gray's effort getting back.

chris_lcfc_85 Posted 30 September 2017 Share Posted 30 September 2017 Gray was OK today but I just wish we'd take the onus in a game and start both gray and Mahrez. Albrighton working hard and tracking back is wearing thin now, he was awful again today. The centre midfield is a huge concern clearly but iborra has to get a run of games for sure as does iheanacho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuchsntf Posted 30 September 2017 Share Posted 30 September 2017 Until he changes the set up, and formation of play...I for one wont judge any player. Since the title, Only Maguire and Ndidi have been given regular 1st team football. Thats either poor transfer business, or has I believe, poor descision making on team selection, from both Ranieri and C Shakespeare.proving they are one dimensional, and have no skill in intigrating new players, or changing tactics to suit 100mil new buys. Silva signing wont change anything because, our selection and player management have no sense of need or tactical awareness. Only a few weeks ago I stood by CS, because he needed sometime, but quite honestly hes not tryed or budged on team set up.Hes either downright slow on pick up and understanding, or tactically blind. A 2 man midfield we cant hack. King could do still a job in a 3 midfielder team but never in a 2, trying to use Albrighton as s midfielder, doesnt cut it. James/Ndidi/Iberro....or King. We let Mendy go, our better young midfielders are out on loan. Rudkin, coaching staff and CS, have made poor poor descisions...They have let down club, owners and fans with their Bullshit management and wasted promises. Why the rant and anger/frustration...because there is no sign of trying a different approach, and keeping stubborn on team set up...There is a plan A only, its wrong our turgid jnemotionional football proves it... Ranieri takes a massive blame as well by destroying the successfull backroom staff set up that NP built up over his years, ruining a modern successfull set up, that was working brilliantly. The owners like us all have had the wool pulled over our eyes for 2 seasons, having management in charge who hage had no idea how to keep us at that high level, or just maintain that ground gained...The club has now failed after one short fantastic success, The owners have to react...nobody could believe 2 stubborn managers could waste the ground gained, and be so blind.

Play our best attacking team and have a go. Iborra in for Kingy and bring George Thomas from the U23's to be Iborrra's attacking alternate on the bench. Play Gray AND Mahrez and play Iheanacho alongside Vardy. They need time to forge a partnership and Nacho needs minutes on the pitch. He is a better footballer and finisher than Shinji. Find an alternative to Simmo with some attacking threat during the international break too. (Sagna?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thursday_next Posted 30 September 2017 Share Posted 30 September 2017 I wish Shakey could have shown the video to the players of 'Great City Performances Against Bournemouth' but unfortunately there isn't one. We came, we got a point, we didn't concede a goal and most importantly we didn't lose. What's not to like? I know the players are playing like they're knee deep in shit at the moment, but it will get better once we have a midfield. Honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maguire, Mahrez, Gray.... at least they try to do something. But because Albrighton "works hard" that's better than a creative player to trying to do something for us.

If we'd have lost 2-0 we'd still have stolen that game, the gulf in class of performance was embarrassing. It was utter shit and a clear indication of where we are going.

Max Wall Posted 30 September 2017 Share Posted 30 September 2017 Results wise, it's pretty much what I expected. Losses to the big boys, two away draws and beating Brighton at home. Performances wise, we are abysmal. Robbed both Huddersfield and Bournemouth. It's a results based business so I suppose I shouldn't be too unhappy but we have been pretty awful thus far. Unless there's a significant improvement, we'll be lucky to beat the drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
